I'm looking to buy a 22-250, and went in to have a look today, the guy had a Tikka T3 Lite, with a S & B 8 x 56 "klassic" Scope and a wildcat Moderator sitting all new and reproofed 1450 Quid, is he about right for price? And what are the opinions on this set up??

 

It concerned me a little that he made no effort to sell me anything else.

 

 

Thx

Get yourself a copy of Gunmart to check the price out, it sounds a lot, but all those bits soon add up so you may find it isn't a bad price.

 

Is the gun brand new? 22-250 is a quick old round so if it isn't new I would walk away from it, but others may disagree.

[HAMMY]

Sorry yes it's all new.

[Dunkield]

Sounds as if it may be a cancelled order, unless they regularly put combinations together.

You need to see a York Guns or Sportsman advert to get the lowest component prices, and add in the cost of threading and proofing etc.

 

I should add by replying to your questions doesn't mean I think I am an expert, far from it

If this is any help

 

The scope is around £380(Hungarian )£550 (German)

The wildcat mod is around £250

If it optilock mounts then they are £85

Threading £50

Reproofing 25-£50

 

That leaves around £660 for the rifle depending on where the scope was made .This rifle normally retails around the £500-550 mark .

What I can tell you though is that it's a first class set up for Fox Control

If its a Hungarian scope, that price is way too much. If its a German scope I still think the price is a little bit strong.

Go and have a haggle.

 

As Ive has said already, it is a good package.

[Browning]

Hammy,

 

I can't offer advice on the cost etc, but if you do decide to go with the .22-250 and you want to re-load

your own ammo, I have a set of RCBS dies and a load of once fired brass you can have for the price

of postage.

as hammy said the rifle should be from 500 to 600 quid depending were you are the scope is probably about the 350 400 mark and mod i don't no but it sounds pretty good but its a lot of money but your gettin the right caliber just remember your looking at at least £15 for 20 bullets

[HAMMY]

Thanks guys, scopes Hungarian, and Tikka advert in Sporting Gun is saying 640 for the Lite.

 

 

I'll shop around b4 I go back and haggle.

[gibby]

Far to much then if its the hungarian... and that is top whack for the rifle, when i bought my hunter i was quoted 550 for the lite.

Make sure when pricing option you clarify between T3 lite and Stainless T3 lite (£100 difference)

 

I would be weary of the combo offered. I have never seen a combo in centre fire made up as everyone has their own slant on what is best.

 

There has to be a reason why he got the rifle screwed

Why that mod and scope

 

As someone else said, it may be a cancelled order and he just wants his investment back but why didn't he say that Just be careful ask all the right question.

 

T3 will be a good choice. Next year I will go for a 6.5x55 and I will go for T3 as I won't screw it. Cost about £180 over here to send it to UK, proofed and stuff.

 

Good hunting for the gun B)
